Summary
For The Statesider: exploring Depoe Bay's transition from commercial fishing hub to gray whale capital of the West Coast.

Tourists from all over the Pacific Northwest and the US are able to experience frequent sightings from shore or close encounters via chartered boat. After a devastating fisheries collapse 20 years ago, many seasoned fishermen in Depoe Bay have found new business with whale watching ventures.
